Chapter 1 Overview Network Deployment Examples Network Deployment Examples The access point is a wireless device designed for wireless client access and point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. The access point provides 5-GHz backhaul capability to link with another access point to reach a wired network connection or to provide repeater operations for other access points.
Chapter 1 Overview Network Deployment Examples Wireless client access is supported; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless coverage area may be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access. Figure 1-23 Access Point Point-to-Point Bridging Example 255495 (5 GHz) Point-to-Multipoint Bridging The access points can be used as a RAP to connect multiple remote MAPs with their associated wired networks.
Chapter 1 Overview Network Deployment Examples Point-to-Multipoint Mesh Network The access point is typically deployed in a mesh network configuration. In a typical mesh deployment, one or more RAPs have a wired network connection through a switch to a controller. Other remote MAPs without wired network connections use the backhaul feature to optimally link to a RAP that is connected to the wired network. In the mesh network, the links between the access points are referred to as the backhaul links.
Chapter 1 Overview Network Deployment Examples Layer 3 Network Operation The access points support Layer 3 network operation. Access points and controllers in Layer 3 configurations use IP addresses and UDP packets, which can be routed through large networks. Layer 3 operation is scalable and recommended by Cisco. Figure 1-26 illustrates a typical Layer-3 wireless network configuration containing access points and a controller.

Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Installation Guidelines For a radiated test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power, antenna gain, attenuation, and receiver sensitivity: txpwr + Where: txpwr = tx gain rx gain tx gain + rx gain - [attenuation due to antenna spacing] < max rx input level Radio transmit power level = transmitter antenna gain = receiver antenna gain For a conducted test bed, the following equation describes the relationships among transmit power,
Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Installation Guidelines • Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver sensitivity occurs as the radio data increases. • Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height.

CH A P T E R 3 Troubleshooting This chapter provides troubleshooting procedures for basic problems with the access point. For the most up-to-date, detailed troubleshooting information, refer to the Cisco Technical Support and Documentation website at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Guidelines for Using the Access Points Guidelines for Using the Access Points You should keep these guidelines in mind when you use the access points: • The access point can only communicate with controllers and cannot operate independently. • The access point does not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access point associates to it.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Controller MAC Filter List • If a RAP is unable to connect to a controller over the wired ports, it attempts to connect using the wireless network. This results in additional delays when multiple potential wireless paths are available. • If a MAP is unable to connect to a RAP using a wireless connection, it then attempts to connect using any available wired port.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Using DHCP Option 43 Using DHCP Option 43 You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling the access point to find and join a controller. Refer to the product documentation for your DHCP server for instructions on configuring DHCP Option 43. For additional information, refer to the “Configuring DHCP Option 43” section on page F-1.

Blinking green Download or upgrade of Cisco IOS image file in progress. Steady amber Mesh neighbor access point discovery in progress. Blinking amber Mesh authentication in progress. Blinking red / green /amber CAPWAP discovery in progress. Steady red Firmware failure.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Changing the Bridge Group Name Changing the Bridge Group Name The bridge group name (BGN) controls the association of the access points to a RAP. BGNs can be used to logically group the radios to avoid different networks on the same channel from communicating with each other. This setting is also useful if you have more than one RAP in your network in the same area.
